memorable quotes


 

Hey!  Let’s go in a little different direction for this day’s devotion.  There are lots of things that catch our attention.  Some of them stick with us for years.


But how do these impact our lives, our thinking and even our relationships?  Here are a few that have stuck with me.  Read and see how many you remember or how they might have stuck with you.


"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." - Walt Disney


“Life Moves Pretty Fast. If You Don’t Stop And Look Around Once In A While, You Could Miss It.” - from the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”


"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln


"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." - Babe Ruth


"The secret of success is to do the common thing uncommonly well." - John D. Rockefeller Jr.


"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot


"Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter." - Francis Chan


“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” – Napoleon Hill


And finally a couple of my all time favorites:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look
